On arrival at the gate, you will have a long en-route game drive towards the tented camp where you will spend the coming two nights. After a nice lunch, you will continue with an afternoon game drive to spot lions, buffaloes, antelopes, hippos, and crocodiles in the Mara River.
For the coming three nights, you will sleep at Loyk Luxury Tented Camp. The camp’s location is sublime located directly on River Koyaki in the border of the reserve. The tents are placed along the banks of the Koyaki River, with a seating area at the front for relaxed game and bird viewing.

Explore Greater Masai Mara Ecosystem

Today you will have a full day of game drives ahead. Before sunrise, you will try to spot different predators that might made a kill last night. You will return for breakfast at the camp while the sun rises over the game reserve.
You can decide to take a packed lunch for a full-day game drive or come back to the camp for a hot lunch. The secret to sighting a lot of animals is to do different game drives at different times and areas for the highest success rate.
On the 5th day, you'll experience an early morning balloon flight over the Mara including a continental champagne breakfast after the flight. Then, you'll have another game drive towards the famous Mara River. At the river, you might be lucky to see the migration of the wildebeest crossing (between July to October). The river is also an opportunity to see hippos and crocodiles.

After this exciting day, you will come back to the camp where you can relax with a cold drink on your veranda with a view of the Mara River!
